Altec Lansing iMT800--car adapter? Anyone found an appropriate car adapter that will work with the unit? I would like to be able to use it in the car at times with out burning batteries.

J. Scholl,That's the ticket right there. I love my little $15 inverter. It serves as an outlet for household plugs and USBs. In the past, every time I changed my cell phone, I needed to buy a new car adapter. Not only me, but the wife and kids. The phones always come with a house charger, so the little inverter pays for itself over and over, and really simplifies things. You can charger digital cameras, DSi's, iPods, laptops, and even power a fan in case your AC gives out. Very, very, useful little device that I think everyone should own.

i am not sure now, but the MIX needs definitely more than 12V, as far as i remember 16V?! so i doubt it will work with a car-charger.

Yes, it does. It works with my wife's iPhone 4, as well as my iPod Touch 3rd gen. And the sound is awesome!

@ R. Scott - Try a power inverter. You can use an inverter for other small AC powered stuff, when not using it for the iMT800. Just be careful to not go past the wattage your vehicle will accept.

This unit comes with an adapter. You need to let them know what vehicle you need an adapter for. I ordered one and it came with an adapter that I couldn't use, so I connected them and explained my situation and they sent me the correct adapter. So, let them know when you order what you need.

Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

I had the same problem and could never find a unit that worked for my stock radio. I did however find an alternative..I highly suggest the GOgroove FlexSMART X2 Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter. I was skeptical of a transmitter, but this thing works great. I would highly suggest it. The blue tooth and charging ability has been a huge plus too. Hope this helps!

Mine didn't come with any adapters for external power sources but it has a standard jack type so I was easily able to get an adapter at Radio Shack. The adapter I got wasn't the type for a car but those are easily available for that jack type too as far as I know.

i have no idea what you people are talking about!!car battery and speakers do not interconnect at any point audio reproduction is all about modulation of voltage (A/C) car battery is as direct current as you can get (D/C) put a car battery on any peaker and you get a half a stroke until you burn through the COIL/Sall any speaker requires is a radio deck or an external amplifier!!!!

I would locate your PDIM that looks like the one in the picture. I am not sure where it is on your car. How do you use the stereo to hook up to the Iphone, does a voice talk you through it? If so, it may work like previously stated.

I questioned whether it would work with the 120, because Altec Lansing InMotion 414 does not. I bought an Altec Lansing and had to return it. The very nice folks at Zlive (GPX) were kind enough to order a 120 based on my question as to whether it would or not. It does, they said. Kudos to Kunle at GPX technical support. However, they have no plans to manufacture a special bracket for the 120. The 120 just goes into the USB port without the support of a bracket as the others do.

Side note with this. Be careful using this in a vehicle it is illegal in many states unless you have a ham radio license. I am not trying to pick a fight or tell you what to do I don't even care if you do it or not just a lot of people don't know this. The adapter that Dennis answered with works really good also.

I took mine to a car audio specialist. They had to use an adapter and it took them about 4 hours.

I went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

I only use in cars so you may have to try it and return if doesn't work for you. Really love mine.

I really really really want to flame you but I won't. The adapter whether it be the car plug or anything else is to power the unit and power the unit only. It will automatically turn on when it has power and when it loses power it will then prompt you that it will shut off in 10 seconds unless you tell it to rely on the battery power. So the unit itself is NOT a battery charger and will rely on the external power source first and once that external source is cut it will rely on battery power.

It doesn't come with a car adapter. Don't know if they make one either. May I suggest you get an extra battery or 2, and have them charged as a backup.
